Keeping these updates brief because, as i said, Jae runs a blog dedicated to game recaps and things of that nature. Anyway i just wanted to touch base and give a quick synopsis of what i took away from our recent matchup vs the Avalanche.
This game started sloppy. When i say sloppy i mean that i dont understand how we didnt end the first period down 5 goals. All the rudimentary hockey sense we showed such promise in at our last game vs the Goon Padres was apparently thrown out the window. I can see this being a problem as we progress through the season unless our guys can find some time to work on the basics off the ice. Its winter for god's sake, go find a pond! Anyway, as i was saying we kicked this game of with some decent zone time but few shots on goal and terrible passes. Scott kept us alive in this one long enough for us to kick ourselves into gear and get to our game. Tyler Rabold began the scoring in this one, and goals were later tallied by Jared Pufka, Myself and Brandon Grimes. We managed to hang on to the shut out for Scotty but with the chances we created we should have had more than a 4-0 score to show for it. As i said countless times in the game, this goalie had the longest legs i had faced to date, so his lateral movement was impeccable and for such long legs he had his five hole sealed. Hopefully for our next outing vs the Ice Ninjas we can convert our scoring chances into goals and get to our game quicker.
